˜”*°• La Papessa •°*”˜

As Libertà charges at Mondo, Nova halts him. The bluenette states that he won't condone any harm towards 'Papa'. Nova unsheathed his katana, evoking both into fighting.

"Move!"

Libertà charges again as well as Nova. Felicità closed her eyes as she slightly clung onto her sister. But then the blonde was abruptly stopped in his tracks by Pace.

And Nova suddenly trips, their blades dropped onto the ground. The bluenette scowled, his katana floated in midair.

"Debito?"

"Very perceptive." The said man revealed himself as he started to talk about his arcana, the ninth card, L'eremita: The Hermit.

The Hermit gave Debito the ability to turn invisible. Giving him the advantage to be undetected by his foes.

"Let go of me!"

Libertà struggled as Pace holds him back with ease. The brunette understands how Libertà feels but it wasn't so good to disobey 'Papa' like that.

Pace has made a deal with the 11th card, La Forza: Strength. His strength is overwhelming. No one can oppose it. That is until, Libertà's arcana activated itself.

"What?"

Pace was forced to release his hold on the blonde, the latter stumbled and he fell on his knees. Dante was astounded at the blonde, he was able to use his arcana.

Mondo then approached Libertà, expressing that the blonde's actions were pitiful.

"If you want to free my daughters, then you need to win the Arcana Duello."

'Papa' informed him. He also told the latter that he will grant any wish to the victor. (Y/n) finally stood up, helping Felicità to get back on her feet.

The (h/c) haired dame stared at their father, a sullen look was plastered on her face. Mondo caught her stare and he halted in his tracks.

"What about you, (Y/n)?"

He turned to face her. "Aren't you going to fight for your freedom too?" He slowly starts to approach but (Y/n) kept her ground. "Or are you afraid of making a fool out of yourself? Just like your sister and Libertá." He taunts.

But she wasn't having any of it. He can taunt her all he wants but she's not gonna give in that easily. (Y/n) crossed her arms and scoffed. She took two steps forward and came in face-to-face with him.

"Of course, I am, but I'm not going fight it here and besides, I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself," She paused.

"In fact, you should be afraid of me, making a fool out of you."

(Y/n) smiled smugly at him as he and everyone else was taken back at her statement. Jolly, who was staring at her from the back, was also surprised.

Mondo soon recovered from his state of shock. He guffawed, making everybody look at him in confusion. His laughter soon dies down as he gave his daughter one last look before leaving.

Sumire turns to her daughters and gives them a warm smile. (Y/n)'s (e/c) eyes softened when she stared at her. Their mother told them that they still have chance in regaining their freedom before following her husband.
